[Lowfer] WM in EN90xn

[N8OOU]

Mike thanks for the capture. I was hoping to see a weak signal version 
of the ID. I don't see the graphics this time, but the FSK is correct.
Your frequency agrees with Garry's report, so I'm thinking I am a little 
lower than my target 300.5.

Temps have been dropping all day here, with medium speed winds. We are 
currently at 20 F so I am expecting the bare ground to get a good freeze 
over the next couple days. I hope that allows my signal to come up some 
for you.
